(Destination- Store)

"Look at this!" Chealse cried, holding up a big stuffed

wolf. "It's sooooo cute!, I'm buying it!" She continued,

making her way up to the LONG line at the front of the

store, by the windows.



(Madison, Nikki, Rita and Sakura all sweatdropp anime

style.)



"Don't you have enough stuffed animals already Chealse?"

Sakura asked. "No!" Chealse replied firmly. The group

groaned at this answer. Sakura sighed and looked out the window

as her friends slowly moved up the line. Madison stood beside

her. The two talked for a few minutes but suddenly stopped when they

heard yelling coming from outside. They looked out just in time to see

a girl that looked EXACTLY like Sakura! The Sakura look-a-like had

just knocked down a HUGE display of stuffed animals that were on sale.



Sakura and Madison gasped as the girl ran away with a big grin on her face.

"M-Madison, did you just see that?, that girl,looked exactly like me..Sakura!"



"Yeah...I did....she looked like your clone.." Madison said, just as shocked as

Sakura. The two were about to continue the conversation, but were inturrupted

when Rita, Chealse(with a bag) and Nikki came walking up to them. "All done!"

Chealse said, clutching her purse. Madison and Sakura put on fake smiles, both

trying to cover their worry and said, "took long enough,lets go!"



(Outside)



"Well....we have to go, we have to work on that project the Mr.Terada gave us yesterday,"

Rita said as she, Chealse and Nikki headed in the opposite direction. "Bye!" Sakua and Madison yelled,

heading towards Li's apartment.



"I still can't believe that me and Madison were partnered with Li and Melin!" Sakura thought...even though

she wouldn't admit it, she was glad she was partnered with the two...maybe she would get a chance to talk

to Li about her look-a-like....she had a feeling that the clone had something to do with the clow cards...but she

would have to talk to him without Melin hanging around.....

"Earth to Sakura!" Madison yelled in her friends ear. "Hu'h? Wha?? Oh! Were here...sorry!" Sakura said, snapping

out of her reverie and back into the present. "Thats okay..c'mon were late enough as it is, Li told us to meet them in the

courtyard, on the other side of the apartment."



(Courtyard)



Madison and Sakura walked in the courtyard just in time to see Li do a double flip, land on his feet and kick a punching bag.

Sakura and Madison gaped as Melin(who was watching) clapped and cheered."You are the best Li!!" She whooped.Li

rolled his eyes and turned around to see Sakura and Madison staring at him....he blushed crismon. "That was awesome Li!"

Sakura said, still gaping. Li shrugged his shoulders, "You guys were late and Melin started to bug me....I said I'd do one of my

Martail Art moves just so she would shut-up until you got here."Li said quickley. "Oh," Sakura said...looking at the red punching

bag that now had a tear in it. Li quickley shoved it to the side and lead them to the picnic table that Melin was currently sitting on.

It had tons of reasearch papers scatterd all over it. The foursome sat down and started to work on the project (Graphing

the distances between several cities.) Melin glared at Sakura the whole time..but didn't make any smart comments...mainley

because that was the other part of the deal she had made with Li. Although..she really didn't take him seriosley.



(1Hour later...)



Sakura got up and stretched, her neck was killing her. Madison looked at her watch.."it's already 2pm." "Let's finish tommorow..

I have to go home...I have to practise for the upcoming singing competition." The others nodded their heads in agreement. Sakura

was a bit dissapointed that she didn't get a chance to talk to Li privatley but cheered up when she remembered that she could

always ask Kero. Melin and Li said bye and headed for their apartment...Melin was still clinging on to Li as they dissapeared

in front of the building.



"Well...see you later Madison..I'm going to ask Kero about my clone when I get home." Sakura said, waving as she headed in the

opposite direction of her friend. "Good idea!, Bye!"Madison said, waving as she ran in the opposite direction, and finally out of

site. Sakura hummed and started to walk home...not noticing that her clone was headed for Li's apartment.



(Li's Apartment)



Li sighed and put on his jacket..."Melin, I'm going for a walk!" "Okay...I'd come, but I'm cooking your favorite dish tonight!"

she yelled back from the kitchen. Li rolled his eyes and stepped out the door...he got in the elavator and pushed the "ground"

button. When the doors opened he headed outside...when he reached his destination, the park.He saw none other then Sakura..and she

was walking towards him..........



~*Avalon Residence....*~



"And she's doing really bad stuff Kero...I saw her myself!" Sakura concluded looking at her small friend anxiously. "First rule

of cardcaptoring is don't panic...I think its time I show you how to use the cards a different way...." Kero said, he then began

to give instuctions on what to do. Soon Sakura was looking at two traingles together...a point at the top and a point at the bottom.



"Now..Sakura whatever words come to you..chant them and CONCENTRATE," Kero said. Sakura closed her eyes and

chanted the words that had come to her, " Oh ancient cards of clow..give me vision now,show me if you may...who is standing

in my way?" Suddenly, a big wind blew around Sakura...giving her an enchanted look. The wind was gone as suddenly as it had come.

Sakura opened her eyes and looked down at the cards. "Now...flip up the top card," Kero instructed, Sakura did so. "The Windy?"

Sakura said aloud. "Uh oh...the cards have found out that you and Li are the chosen cardcaptors," Kero said. "But...how'd you

know that??"Sakura asked. "Easy, Windy creates chains of messages..when you become more experienced you'll understand."

Kero stated. "Now...flip over the 3 middle cards." Sakura flipped them over and said, "The Illusion, The Watery and The

Shadow??" The card can use these 3 for guidence..now flip over the bottom card..it will tell what or who the card is after." Kero said,

eyeing the bottom card suspiciosley.



{-The Park-}



Li looked at Sakura questionly. "Why'd you want to talk here?" he asked, looking at the steep cliff that stood in front of them.

"More private." Sakura said...with a strange grin on her face. A grin that really didn't suit her...



*~Avalon Residence~*



Sakura flipped over the final card and found herself face to face with the Fight card. "What does this mean??, I don't get it.."Sakura

muttered, staring at the card. Suddenly, she invisioned Li doing that Martial Arts move. The card was after him!!! 'Oh NO!!"Sakura

gasped...runing out of her house.



Sakura ran out onto the street and started to run in the direction of the park. "Sakura what'd you see? tell me!" Kero yelled, as

he hung onto her shoulder for dear life. "The card, it's after Li!" Sakura yelled. "And you know where Li is because??" "I don't

know...I just can feel a green aura..it's like I'm following it!..it's hard to explain!!" Saklura shouted again as she neared the park.



{-The Park-}



Li looked at Sakura strangley...she wasn't acting like herself. Suddenly she said, "What's that behind you?!" Li turned around to look.

The moment he turned,Sakura's clone pushed him right over the cliff, hard. Li managed to grab onto the edge of the cliff, he looked

up. Sakura's clone suddenly glowed turqouise. "Your a card..why didn't I see..it ...before.......?" he whispered. His grip

loosened as his eyes started to droop. He suddenly let go...and fell down. Sakura's clone looked down and grinned...she had casted

a weaking spell upon him with her aura...it'd worked. She headed down the cliff, towards the spot where Li lay.



(+In another spot at the park+)



Sakura suddenly gasped as she stopped short. "What is it??" Kero asked, confused. "I can't feel the aura anymore...it's gone."She

whispered. "Listen Sakura CONCENTRATE on that aura and try to locate it...you CAN do it!!" Kero said, he couldn't help

but be a little bit worried about the kid. Sakura nodded and closed her eyes...soon she felt it, and began to run again, Kero

right behind her. She suddenly came to the edge of the cliff, without stopping she yelled, "Fly!" Wings appeared on her staff and

she flew down the side of the cliff.



Sakura landed and her staff's wings dissapeared. She gasped at what she saw before them. Her clone was standing over an

uncionsouce Li...who was lying on the ground in a crumpled heap...his clothes were torn and covered in blood. "Li!" Sakura cried

running over to him...totally ignoring the card. Kero felt Li's pulse "he's still breathing." Sakura suddenly stood up and walked over

to the card. "I'm the one you want!" She said angirly, her eyes flashing....
